A machining method of a machining system for performing predetermined machining on a machining target of a workpiece that is being conveyed, the machining system comprising:

• a conveyance unit that conveys the workpiece;
• a machining unit that carries out a moving operation to the machining target of the workpiece, and a machining operation on the machining target;
• a moving unit that moves the machining unit in parallel with the workpiece being conveyed by the conveyance unit;
• a machining target detection unit that is attached to the machining unit, and detects a position of the machining target;
• and
• a conveyance detection unit that is attached to the moving unit and detects a specified position of the conveyance unit;
• wherein
• the method comprises the steps of:
• controlling movement of the moving unit using a detection result by the conveyance detection unit;
• and
• controlling the moving operation of the machining unit using a detection result by the machining target detection unit or the conveyance detection unit.
